thankyou ..Name - AdminAstro nuts are special decorative nuts to bling the skate out.Name - what are astro nutsName - Corporal415I bought the original Chicago 400 for my girlfriend and they were awful I thought I completely wasted my money I bought the wheels and bearings to make the 400 into this package and it made a world of difference. still not the best skate but not a total waste of money.

If you are a women ordering this skate for yourself, go one size down. If you are a womens 7, order the mens size 6.
Below are the lengths, in inches, of the insoles of the Chicago Skate. It is important to measure your own foot to make sure you receive the correct fit.

The skates are great in general, however one of the screws needed to be tighten as it was loose. So I suggest that you use the tool that comes with the skates to tighten all the screws before the first use.

I bought these skates hoping for a rink experience on outside asphalt, and they deliver! They're fast, have good stability, and handle bumps without skidding. I'm so happy I bought them, and this is the exercise I love that will get me back in shape! By the way, I got the larger 65 mm wheels and I'm glad I did.

Very nice beginner skate for outdoor use. I haven't skated in about 15 years and these were exactly what I was looking for. Boot is vinyl but comfortable and provides good ankle support; also no blisters or hot-spots. I upgraded to the 65mm wheels and the Sure-grip toe stop, both were worth it. Wheels have a smooth glide and work well on paved trails and asphalt. I wear an 8.5 shoe and ordered an 8-- feels about half a size too long but the width is fine; I think a 7 would be too small. I added gel inserts and wear them with cushioned hiking socks and they fit fine. Overall, a good quality skate for a beginner or casual recreational skater.

I use my Chicago rolerskates for fitness purposes. The skates are very stylish and leather-free which is a plus for me. The boot offers excellent ankle support and the wheels provide a smooth glide. The skates also handle bumps and cracks in the pavement very well.

I purchased the Chicago 400 Easy Motion outdoor Skate for my upcoming 1970's Summer Street-Party (43rd B-day). Although I will be historically correct with these beauties, they really rock for exercise. If you're undecided about the wheel and toe-stop upgrade....it's a must. These skates are fast and turn on a dime. I wear primarily a size 9 shoe. However, my athletic shoes and some boots are a size 10. The size 9 skate was a PERFECT fit. Look no further!

I wanted to buy inline skates for my 9 year old granddaughter so she could skate with my husband and me. However, she was freightened to try inline skating and asked for traditional shoeskates that could be used outside. I was slightly leary of buying them online but I took the chance. I was SO pleased! Our granddaughter LOVES the skates and her confidence and ability improved when she saw how well they performed as we skated around the path in the park. [...]

They are just what I needed to start again, they run a little big, usually I am a 7 1/2 or 8, but I read on some reviews they run big and ordered a 7 and they fit perfectly, with a little more room.
Im VERY happy with my new roller skates, :)
For now Im just triyng to learn again how to stop... :)

I am just starting to learn to skate and have been using these outdoors on asphalt. I upgraded my wheels to make them more equipped for the cracks and such that I have encountered. I love them. I would live in them if possible. They are a bit heavy but I feel it adds to their charm.

I've had these skates for about three weeks and have used them on the street and at a rink. They're great! I would agree with some of the other reviews that they run a bit wide. Since I have a bunion, I need to wear an orthotic in the skate and can fit it in. Normally I have to buy bigger shoes to fit the orthotic.
The only thing I would recommend is having a black skate option. When I got to the roller rink, I discovered I was the only one with white skates! Otherwise, I love them!

We got these for everyone in the family to skate with the dogs. WOW ! I cannot believe how well and how fast they skate. This is my first time buying and skating outside, and I had no idea it would be so much like regular skating - only better.
I ordered a 6, and I'm a 6.5, but they fit perfectly - so they run a bit bigger than size. We went with the 65mm wheels - super fast and smooth, and go ahead and order extra toe stops - they grind down very fast. Don't forget the pads and helmet, especially if skating with big dogs.
I wish they weren't made in China.

Skating on our walking trail and love it! They do great on asphalt but have to be careful on smooth concrete surfaces - very slick. Other reviews said were a little big to size and I didn't heed -they do run a little large, perhaps 1/2 size over. But they're great and that creates no problem.

I wanted a skate to use out doors on a blacktop track. I'm going through stuff, and need to exercise. These skates are perfect! I was warned that they run a little large, so I bought a size that would be the smallest shoe size that I wear, and that was good advice. They are light and fast, a very smooth ride.

Starting over again. Great skates for any adult who is looking to get back into skating again. I have inline skate but never felt comfortable. I'm just not a skater, but learning. Skated with these and feel comfortable with control. One day I will venture back to my inline skates.

I have not been roller skating for thirty years and was a little fearful of skating again. But once I put these skates on, my fears were gone. They are so smooth and comfortable, I just know that it will all come back to me in no time!
